Building  for  the  Future 

THE  progress  of  mankind  may  be  measured  by  the  structures 
his  brain  has  conceived  and  his  hand  has  executed. 
From  the  thatched  hut  in  the  jungle  to  the  lofty  towers  of 
Manhattan,  the  whole  history  of  civilization  is  narrated  in 
chapters  of  wood  and  stone.  From  the  first,  man  has  built  for 
the  future;  the  great  cedar  beams  in  Solomon’s  Temple,  the  sand¬ 
stone  blocks  of  Cheop’s  Pyramids,  the  massive  marble  columns 
of  the  Parthenon,  were  chosen  because  they  were  at  that  time 
the  most  lasting  materials,  and  at  the  same  time  fulfilled  the 
requirements  of  beauty,  that  were  known  to  the  greatest  archi¬ 
tects  of  those  periods.  With  the  opening  of  the  one  hundred 
years  immediately  behind  us,  dawned  the  era  of  revolutionizing 
scientific  discovery,  and  of  the  great  products  of  the  trained  minds 
of  scientific  men,  there  is  not  one  more  wonderful  or  essential  to 
life  in  the  terms  of  today  than  the  discovery  of  Portland  Cement 
— the  living  stone. 

Wood,  brick,  stone,  iron  and  steel  hold  their  places  in  the 
world,  and  their  necessity  to  mankind  is  unchallenged,  but  with 
the  development  of  greater  needs,  their  faults  have  become  clearly 
recognized,  and  in  a  thousand  uses  for  which  they  alone  were 
formerly  employed,  concrete  is  now  conceded  to  be  the  only 
material  that  meets  in  every  way  the  requirements  of  strength, 
appearance,  durability  and  ease  of  manipulation. 

Stone  ranges  from  the  poorest  grades  of  soft  and  crumbly  sand¬ 
stone,  hardly  stone  at  all,  to  the  granite  that  we  used  to  believe 
was  the  most  lasting  building  material  in  the  world.  Of  the 
thousands  of  varieties  of  stone,  very  few  are  fit  for  building 


5 


purposes.  Such  as  is  suitable  is  rarely  found  in  the  neighborhood, 
but  must  be  transported  at  great  cost,  according  to  the  distance. 
Stone  is  a  product  of  nature,  formed  by  the  tedious,  irregular 
processes  that  permit  of  a  thousand  faults  and  imperfections.  To 
prepare  it  for  its  destined  purpose  it  must  be  quarried  and  labor¬ 
iously  chiseled  into  shape,  and  even  then  the  most  perfect  pieces 
are  marred  by  grain,  cleavage,  and  countless  imperfections. 

Compare  with  such  a  material  the  marble-like  concrete;  a  man- 
created  stone,  created  for  the  one  definite  purpose  desired;  a  substance 
without  grain  or  blemish,  smooth  and  adaptable  as  water;  shaping 
itself  instantly  to  the  forms  that  enclose  it,  curves  or  angles; 
this  moment  a  liquid,  the  next,  adamant;  then  exactly  what  you 
want  and  where  you  want  it. 

To  compare  concrete  with  other  materials,  such  as  brick,  wood, 
iron  and  steel,  is  obviously  unnecessary,  and  so  we  may  go  directly 
to  the  discussion  of  concrete,  without  further  reference  to  the 
materials  it  has  replaced  in  the  architectural  and  structural  world. 

You  have  heard  this  age  called  “The  Age  of  Concrete;”  you 
realize  how  true  is  that  descriptive  phrase.  In  Chicago  a  number 
of  buildings  have  been  recently  torn  down  that  were  erected  shortly 
after  the  great  fire  in  1871.  That  was  before  the  age  of  concrete, 
and  the  buildings  erected  in  that  day  were  little  different  in  prin¬ 
ciple  of  construction  from  the  buildings  of  ancient  history.  It 
was  a  case  of  broad,  shallow  foundations  and  thick  lower  walls  to 
carry  the  weight  of  the  upper  stories.  Height,  beyond  a  certain 
limit,  was  impractical;  it  demanded  too  great  a  thickness  of  lower 
walls. 

With  the  age  of  concrete  came  the  great  changes  in  construe- 


tion  that  its  use  permitted.  Steel  frames  shot  up,  rooted  to  bed 
rock  on  the  foundations  of  concrete;  concrete  encased  the  steel 
work;  concrete  entered  in  a  thousand  ways  into  every  building; 
and  the  use  of  concrete  permitted  the  use  of  other  materials 
impractical  without  it. 

Not  only  the  modern  buildings,  but  the  entire  modern  city 
owes  its  present  development  to  this  living  stone.  The  great 
sewers  are  built  of  it;  the  tracks  of  the  street  railways  rest  on  it — 
it  is  the  enduring  part  ol  every  pavement;  curb  and  sidewalk  are 
built  of  it.  Out  on  the  water  front  docks  and  breakwaters  are  of 
concrete,  railroad  bridges,  viaducts  and  elevations  are  carried  by  it. 
The  concrete  mixer  has  become  so  common  a  sight  that  you  pass 
it  by  without  a  look.  But  thirty  years  ago  a  crowd  would  have 
blocked  the  traffic  to  watch  men  “making  stone.” 

What  does  the  master  intelligence  of  the  world  think  of 
concrete?  What  do  the  greatest  architects,  engineers  and  con¬ 
tractors  think  of  it?  Their  reputation,  their  whole  success,  is  at 
stake.  The  universal  adoption  of  concrete  by  them  for  all  of  the 
greatest  enterprises  is  their  answer. 

The  old  dirt  road,  a  swamp  in  springtime,  a  desert  of  dust  in 
summer,  a  slough  of  ruts  in  winter,  is  rapidly  passing  into  ancient 
history.  Concrete  roads,  smooth,  level  and  permanent,  are  fast 
taking  their  place.  Here  is  one  of  a  hundred  instances  illustrating 
the  recognition  by  men  who  know  of  this  foremost  element  in 
modern  engineering  construction. 

The  clattering  iron  bridge  is  last  becoming  a  curiosity. 
Every  modern  community  is  giving  expression  to  its  pride  and 
enterprise  by  building,  not  only  good  roads,  but  good,  satisfactory 


I _

bridges.  Here  you  find  concrete  entering  not  only  into  the  foun¬ 
dations  and  abutments,  but  into  spans  and  arches.  The  great  curves 
of  concrete  are  not  only  beautiful,  but  they  are  flood-resisting, 
time- enduring,  everlasting. 

Concrete  may  justly  be  called  the  “living  stone;”  it  is  eternal; 
decay  and  all  the  normal  processes  of  nature  fail  to  affect  it. 
When  granite  is  split  and  crumbled,  concrete  is  still  as  fresh  as 
the  day  it  was  freed  from  the  mould. 

There  are  certain  kinds  of  stone  that  have  great  individual 
beauty,  but  in  most  cases  this  beauty,  be  it  of  vein  or  color,  is  so 
pronounced  that  the  stone  can  only  be  used  as  a  decorative  feature 
of  a  building.  The  smooth,  clean  surface  of  concrete  harmonizes 
everywhere;  restful  to  the  eye  it  never  tires;  it  possesses  no  single 
quality  that  unfits  it  for  use  when  the  highest  requirements  for 
beauty  are  demanded. 


All  other  building  material  must  be  laboriously  hewn,  cut,  or 
forged.  Concrete  alone  follows  with  perfect  freedom  every  line, 
curve  or  angle.  Obtainable  anywhere  in  convenient  form,  it  can 
he  instantly  transformed  into  a  massive  foundation  or  a  delicate 
carving  ornamenting  a  cornice.  Its  rules  are  so  simple  that  the 
most  ignorant  laborer  can  mix  it. 


Practically  wherever  you  can  buy  a  keg  of  nails  or  a  sack  of 
flour,  you  can  get  a  sack  of  Portland  Cement.  In  every  civilized 
country  of  the  world  it  is  recognized  as  a  commercial  and 
economic  necessity. 


But  perhaps  as  wonderful  as  the  great  achievements  that 
concrete  has  made  possible  are  the  humble  uses  that  has  made  it  a 
necessary  factor  in  the  life  of  everyone.  The  foundations  of 


8 


houses  are  today  poured  in  a  few  hours.  Sanitary  stables  and 
dairies  with  concrete  stalls  and  floors  have  taken  the  place  of  germ¬ 
breeding,  moisture-absorbing  wood.  On  clean  concrete  floors  hogs 
find  freedom  from  disease,  and  increase  in  value.  The  fence 
posts  of  wood — you  know  the  cost  of  cedar  posts  today — are  giving 
way  to  posts  of  concrete.  Watering  troughs,  stepping  blocks, 
silos,  barns,  houses,  tanks,  reservoirs,  conduits  and  irrigation  ditches 
are  built  of  it.  Fire-proof,  frost-proof,  age-proof,  clean,  beautiful 
and  in  every  way  satisfactory,  concrete  has  become  the  building 
material  of  the  twentieth  century. 

You  will,  of  course,  recognize  the  fact  that  in  the  foregoing 
paragraphs  we  have  pre-supposed  in  every  instance  the  use  of  good 
cement.  In  every  great  industry  there  is  always  a  range  in  the 
quality  of  the  article  manufactured,  and  this  rule  applies  to  Port¬ 
land  Cement  as  to  anything  else.  In  quality  it  must  be  the  best. 
What  is  the  best  cement  ?  Let  the  choice  of  architects  and 
engineers,  who  can  take  no  chances  with  inferior  brands,  direct 
your  selection.  Such  men  have  specified  and  used  Marquette 
Portland  Cement  for  the  reason  of  its  supreme  quality;  its 
acknowledged  durability,  and  the  ability  of  its  manufacturer  to 
render  satisfactory  service. 

On  the  following  pages  you  will  find  photographic  reproduc¬ 
tions  of  the  big  building  and  concrete  construction  work  in 
which  Marquette  Portland  Cement  has  been  used;  they  speak  for 
themselves;  they  have  been  built  for  the  future.

WHETHER  it  is  the  building  of  a  skyscraper,  residence, 
grain  elevator,  modern  factory,  concrete  bridge  or  con¬ 
crete  silo;  whether  it  is  the  laying  of  a  concrete  road,  street,  alley, 
driveway  or  sidewalk;  your  reputation  as  an  architect,  engineer 
or  contractor  depends  on  how  that  work  satisfies;  how  it  will  stand 
the  test  of  time. 

You  cannot  afford  to  specify  or  use  anything  but  the  best;  it 
may  not  be  the  lowest  in  price,  but  it  will  be  the  cheapest  in  the 
long  run;  it  will  help  you  establish  a  reputation  as  a  man  who 
knows  and  knows  that  he  knows. 

What  Marquette  Portland  Cement  has  achieved  in  the  Middle 
West  is  partially  shown  in  the  preceding  pages.  Much  greater 
space  would  be  required  to  show  the  many  building  projects  in 
which  Marquette  Portland  Cement  has  been  in  use  for  the  past 
seventeen  years. 

The  men  who  planned  and  constructed  these  buildings,  roads 
and  bridges  well  knew  the  advantage  in  specifying  and  using  the 
best  Portland  Cement;  they  also  knew  the  full  meaning  of  the 
green  guaranty  tag  attached  to  every  bag  of  Marquette  Portland 
Cement  certifying  its  superior  quality.  What  these  architects, 
engineers  and  contractors  have  done  for  themselves,  you  can  do, 
and  Marquette  Portland  Cement  will  help  you.
